[Avodah] Serrarah

[Joseph Kaplan]

The discussion back and forth on this issue has my head spinning. So I would
find it very helpful (and perhaps others as well), if we could go back a
step or two and someone could present the elements of serrarah; that is, to
have serrarah there must be a, b c, & d.  Of course, if there is a dispute
on the elements, it would be helpful if that were pointed out as well.  With
those elements, it might be easier to apply them to particular cases (shul
president, school principal, rabbi, shochet etc.) and see which have all of
the elements and which do not.  My sense (and it's not much more than a
sense) is that some part of our discussion of this issue involves differing
understandings of the powers of those in certain of the positions (president
etc.) being considered as opposed to halachic disagreements.
